That explains why Wasps can't announce anything if the plan is to play at Sixways, Atlas aren't the owners.
If Sixways is the plan I hope there's a Plan B as Atlas don't look like completing and the I don't think the Administrator will want to try to sell with a sitting tenant or try to run the stadium themselves while they search for a new buyer.
Pretty much confirms what I said a few weeks ago. I don't think Atlas will complete, as the RFU have publicly said they will not allow the Stourbridge deal to happen. There is no way Wasps will afford any rental deal, and I suspect that Solihull Moors have long since gone off their deal.
The problem Wasps have are two fold. No ground, and no finance. It is already far too late to sort things out for next September (they would have to be ready for the cup games), and the RFU have said NO to delaying it for a year. The RFU have also refused to say whether Wasps would ever be allowed back in to the PRL, as it looks increasingly likely that the RFU/PRL are looking to ring fence the PRL to 8 or 10 clubs, and say to all other clubs, 'You're on your own.'
So, no chance of promotion would mean no finance, which in turn would mean not paying the rugby creditors. Which puts Wasps in the same place as Warriors. Dead. I am sure it wasn't what the RFU wanted, but may have been what the richer PRL club owners wanted.
Wasps also know, as the RFU have made clear, it cannot merge in the way Atlas had proposed to catch a ride up the leagues. They might allow a merger much further down, but ...
That isn't to say it's all over, but it is getting mighty close.
